Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Ontario, California

Meet Piper

Fostered in Charlotte NC!

Equal parts cuddle bug, chaos goblin, and professional napper.

Piper is a high-energy girl who plays hard and naps even harder. She's a tug-o-war champion, a tennis ball enthusiast currently learning the concept of fetch , and so far... undefeated against every “indestructible” toy she's met. (Seriously. Nothing is safe. )

She's food motivated, eager to learn, and already knows “sit”! She's currently working on “down,” “stay,” and understanding that not every moment requires full-speed zoomies. Piper thrives with routine and guidance, so she'd do best with someone home often who can continue helping her learn boundaries and manners.

Piper would likely love an active home and may especially benefit from a confident dog sibling who can help show her the ropes and reinforce strong boundaries. She runs FAST ... but she's also adorably clumsy, so a home with older kids may be the best fit.

A few more Piper fun facts:
Crate trained and settles quickly
Loves tennis balls
Does well in the car and naps on road trips
Still learning how to play politely with cats
Certified cuddle bug when the energy meter powers down

Piper is sweet, goofy, smart, and full of personality. She's looking for a family ready to help her continue growing into the amazing dog she's becoming.
